A Photolabile Carboxyl Protecting Group for Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis.

ABSTRACT: A new kind of photolabile protecting group (PLPG) for carboxyl moieties was designed and synthesized as the linker between resin and peptide. This group can be used for the protection of amino acid carboxyl groups. The peptide was synthesized on Nph (2-hydroxy-3-(2-nitrophenyl)-heptanoic acid)-derivatized resins and could be cleaved under UV exposure, thus avoiding the necessity for harsh acid-mediated resin cleavage. The PLPG has been successfully used for solid-phase synthesis of peptides.

Synthesis of Cyclic Peptides in SPPS with Npb-OH Photolabile Protecting Group.

Project description:Significant efforts have been made in recent years to identify more environmentally benign and safe alternatives to side-chain protection and deprotection in solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS). Several protecting groups have been endorsed as suitable candidates, but finding a greener protecting group in SPPS has been challenging. Here, based on the 2-(o-nitrophenyl) propan-1-ol (Npp-OH) photolabile protecting group, a structural modification was carried out to synthesize a series of derivatives. Through experimental verification, we found that 3-(o-Nitrophenyl) butan-2-ol (Npb-OH) had a high photo-release rate, high tolerance to the key conditions of Fmoc-SPPS (20% piperidine DMF alkaline solution, and pure TFA acidic solution), and applicability as a carboxyl-protective group in aliphatic and aromatic carboxyl groups. Finally, Npb-OH was successfully applied to the synthesis of head-tail cyclic peptides and side-chain-tail cyclic peptides. Moreover, we found that Npb-OH could effectively resist diketopiperazines (DKP). The α-H of Npb-OH was found to be necessary for its photosensitivity in comparison to 3-(o-Nitrophenyl)but-3-en-2-ol (Npbe-OH) during photolysis-rate verification.

Methoxy-Substituted Nitrodibenzofuran-Based Protecting Group with an Improved Two-Photon Action Cross-Section for Thiol Protection in Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis.

Project description:Photoremovable caging groups are useful for biological applications because the deprotection process can be initiated by illumination with light without the necessity of adding additional reagents such as acids or bases that can perturb biological activity. In solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), the most common photoremovable group used for thiol protection is the o-nitrobenzyl group and related analogues. In earlier work, we explored the use of the nitrodibenzofuran (NDBF) group for thiol protection and found it to exhibit a faster rate toward UV photolysis relative to simple nitroveratryl-based protecting groups and a useful two-photon cross-section. Here, we describe the synthesis of a new NDBF-based protecting group bearing a methoxy substituent and use it to prepare a protected form of cysteine suitable for SPPS. This reagent was then used to assemble two biologically relevant peptides and characterize their photolysis kinetics in both UV- and two-photon-mediated reactions; a two-photon action cross-section of 0.71-1.4 GM for the new protecting group was particularly notable. Finally, uncaging of these protected peptides by either UV or two-photon activation was used to initiate their subsequent enzymatic processing by the enzyme farnesyltransferase. These experiments highlight the utility of this new protecting group for SPPS and biological experiments.

Sustainable Peptide Synthesis Enabled by a Transient Protecting Group.

Project description:The growing interest in synthetic peptides has prompted the development of viable methods for their sustainable production. Currently, large amounts of toxic solvents are required for peptide assembly from protected building blocks, and switching to water as a reaction medium remains a major hurdle in peptide chemistry. We report an aqueous solid-phase peptide synthesis strategy that is based on a water-compatible 2,7-disulfo-9-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (Smoc) protecting group. This approach enables peptide assembly under aqueous conditions, real-time monitoring of building block coupling, and efficient postsynthetic purification. The procedure for the synthesis of all natural and several non-natural Smoc-protected amino acids is described, as well as the assembly of 22 peptide sequences and the fundamental issues of SPPS, including the protecting group strategy, coupling and cleavage efficiency, stability under aqueous conditions, and crucial side reactions.

Computational Design, Synthesis, and Photochemistry of Cy7-PPG, an Efficient NIR-Activated Photolabile Protecting Group for Therapeutic Applications.

Project description:Photolabile Protecting Groups (PPGs) are molecular tools used, for example, in photopharmacology for the activation of drugs with light, enabling spatiotemporal control over their potency. Yet, red-shifting of PPG activation wavelengths into the NIR range, which penetrates the deepest in tissue, has often yielded inefficient or insoluble molecules, hindering the use of PPGs in the clinic. To solve this problem, we report herein a novel concept in PPG design, by transforming clinically-applied NIR-dyes with suitable molecular orbital configurations into new NIR-PPGs using computational approaches. Using this method, we demonstrate how Cy7, a class of NIR dyes possessing ideal properties (NIR-absorption, high molecular absorptivity, excellent aqueous solubility) can be successfully converted into Cy7-PPG. We report a facile synthesis towards Cy7-PPG from accessible precursors and confirm its excellent properties as the most redshifted oxygen-independent NIR-PPG to date (λmax =746 nm).

Solid-phase peptide synthesis and solid-phase fragment coupling mediated by isonitriles.

Project description:The synthesis of polypeptides on solid phase via mediation by isonitriles is described. The acyl donor is a thioacid, which presumably reacts with the isonitrile to generate a thio-formimidate carboxylate mixed anhydride intermediate. Applications of this chemistry to reiterative solid-phase peptide synthesis as well as solid-phase fragment coupling are described.

Recyclable hypervalent-iodine-mediated solid-phase peptide synthesis and cyclic peptide synthesis.

Project description:The system of the hypervalent iodine(III) reagent FPID and (4-MeOC6H4)3P was successfully applied to solid-phase peptide synthesis and cyclic peptide synthesis. Four peptides with biological activities were synthesized through SPPS and the bioactive cyclic heptapeptide pseudostellarin D was obtained via solution-phase peptide synthesis. It is worth noting that FPID can be readily regenerated after the peptide coupling reaction.

Rapid one-pot iterative diselenide-selenoester ligation using a novel coumarin-based photolabile protecting group.

Project description:The development of an iterative one-pot peptide ligation strategy is described that capitalises on the rapid and efficient nature of the diselenide-selenoester ligation reaction, together with photodeselenisation chemistry. This ligation strategy hinged on the development of a novel photolabile protecting group for the side chain of selenocysteine, namely the 7-diethylamino-3-methyl coumarin (DEAMC) moiety. Deprotection of this DEAMC group can be effected in a mild, reagent-free manner using visible light (λ = 450 nm) without deleterious deselenisation of selenocysteine residues, thus enabling a subsequent ligation reaction without purification. The use of this DEAMC-protected selenocysteine in iterative DSL chemistry is highlighted through the efficient one-pot syntheses of 60- and 80-residue fragments of mucin-1 as well as apolipoprotein CIII in just 2-4 hours.

Tetrahydropyranyl: A Non-aromatic, Mild-Acid-Labile Group for Hydroxyl Protection in Solid-Phase Peptide Synthesis.

Project description:The use of the tetrahydropyranyl (Thp) group for the protection of serine and threonine side-chain hydroxyl groups in solid-phase peptide synthesis has not been widely investigated. Ser/Thr side-chain hydroxyl protection with this acid-labile and non-aromatic moiety is presented here. Although Thp reacts with free carboxylic acids, it can be concluded that to introduce Thp ethers at the hydroxyl groups of N-protected Ser and Thr, protection of the C-terminal carboxyl group is unnecessary due to the lability of Thp esters. Thp-protected Ser/Thr-containing tripeptides are synthesized and the removal of Thp studied in low concentrations of trifluoroacetic acid in the presence of cation scavengers. Given its general stability to most non-acidic reagents, improved solubility of its conjugates and ease with which it can be removed, Thp emerges as an effective protecting group for the hydroxyl groups of Ser and Thr in solid-phase peptide synthesis.

Total wash elimination for solid phase peptide synthesis.

Project description:We present a process for solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) that completely eliminates all solvent intensive washing steps during each amino acid addition cycle. A key breakthrough is the removal of a volatile Fmoc deprotection base through bulk evaporation at elevated temperature while preventing condensation on the vessel surfaces with a directed headspace gas flushing. This process was demonstrated at both research and production scales without any impact on product quality and when applied to a variety of challenging sequences (up to 89 amino acids in length). The overall result is an extremely fast, high purity, scalable process with a massive waste reduction (up to 95%) while only requiring 10-15% of the standard amount of base used. This transformation of SPPS represents a step-change in peptide manufacturing process efficiency, and should encourage expanded access to peptide-based therapeutics.

Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis on Chitosan Thin Films.

Project description:Stable chitosan thin films can be promising substrates for creating nanometric peptide-bound polyglucosamine layers. Those are of scientific interest since they can have certain structural similarities to bacterial peptidoglycans. Such films were deposited by spin coating from chitosan solutions and modified by acetylation and N-protected amino acids. The masses of deposited materials and their stability in aqueous solutions at different pH values and water interaction were determined with a quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D). The evolution of the surface composition was followed by X-ray photoelectron (XPS) and attenuated total reflectance infrared (ATR-IR) spectroscopy. Morphological changes were measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM), while the surface wettability was monitored by by static water contact angle measurements. The combination of the characterization techniques enabled an insight into the surface chemistry for each treatment step and confirmed the acetylation and coupling of N-protected glycine peptides. The developed procedures are seen as first steps toward preparing thin layers of acetylated chitin, potentially imitating the nanometric peptide substituted glycan layers found in bacterial cell walls.
